My Top Headline: A new study shows that 81% of Americans use YouTube
In addition to this, I read a tweet this morning that stated 34% of kids want to become a YouTuber, with the next 18% wanting to become bloggers/vloggers.
The world is changing rapidly. Many people, especially kids, are realizing the power of building a personal brand and having a community of people interested in your work.
I strongly believe this is only the beginning. The next generation of workers don't want a job just for the sake of earning a paycheck. They want a job that they find fulfilling and meaningful.
Building a career on the internet was unheard of just a decade ago. We're just starting to see its potential.
